The remote host is missing an update for the 'security' package(s) announced via the SSA:2003-253-01 advisory. Upgraded pine packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, and -current. These fix two security problems found by iDEFENSE Labs which could lead to arbitrary code execution when a specially crafted email is processed by Pine
